This page is just getting started — there's no curated research here yet. It exists to collect the open questions worth asking and the contributions that answer them, reviewed the same way as everywhere else on the open exchange.

Open questions

  • ?How closed does the life-support loop need to be for a lunar-length mission?
  • ?What's the right balance between proven chemical systems and newer biological ones?
  • ?What failure modes matter most to design around first?
